No, it's not.  Thanks.

Some way for us (not using CAPI) to rid of the startup image would be
great.  I really don't want to give my users the misimpression that 
my program takes 30 seconds to start up.  One bonus of this functionality
is that I do not have to wait for 30 seconds to start debugging after an 
explosion in "lispworks -siteinit - -init save-something.lisp" :)

Best,
